to render it practicable foi me to act as
chairman; and I, therefore, as I reserved
the right to do, announce I will not so act.
Under the authority rested in me by
the National Committee, I will probably
announce the executive committee within
the next 'few days, and that committee will
meet at an early date. At the meeting I
will formally tender my resignation, and
my successor will then bo elected. My
successor will be chosen by election by
the executive committee a* authorized by _
resolution adopted by the National Com
mittee."
The names most prominently mentioned
to-night in connection with the chairman

Fe»senden of New Hampshire and G. A.
Hobart of New Jersey.

the executive committee «f the National
Republican Committee this evening and
those whose names follow, with perhaps,
one or two exceptions, will, it is believed,
be found upon the list: J. 11. Mauley of
Maine. Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey,

Campaign Fund.
Omaha. July s.— The People's party Na
tional Committee to-day adopted resolu
tions calling upon the reform press to use
all of its Influence to the end that upon tba

the party to take up collections for
the national fund at all meetings. It
urg<_s the ladies who are in sympathy with
the party to form clubs for the collection

ability that the party will sweep the country
and elect their candidates for President and
"Vice-President if they aie given means
enough to put speakers in the field and sup
ply the people with campaign literature.
The People's party of the United States

big Catholic Indian congress closed to-day.
The observance of high mass and the con

was 'also an interesting sight when over
2COO warriors, who but 18 months ago were
arrayed in war dress, sat around the big
wigwam and listened to talks by their head
man about the benefits of religion. Well
might Bishop Marti count that his life's
work was worthy of commendation when

A I_-Ali-__.F_._ONT RIOT.
Steamboat Men in Chicago Besist the World's
: V 7 Fair Managers.
Chicago, July s.— For years a portion of
the lake front near Vau Buren street has
been used as tho landing-place by
dozen, of pleasure steamers which ply
between the city and the "Crib," out
in the harbor, and for trips up shore,
The company; which secured the privilege
of transporting passengers to the World's
Fair grounds decided that they wanted to put
up their regular docks, and the city authori
ties notified the transient occupants of the
lake front that they must vacate. The latter
assert that the company secured the World's
Fair privileges through unfair means, and
announced the determination to stand
on their rights. This morning the harbor
master called on the police for assistance
and 20 men were sent him. They went
down the lake front, proceeded to ordei the
boats to pull a».av and prepared to remove
the temporary taadini.-et*ge- which have
been there. They had no sooner started
at work than several mariners Interfered
and a lively row started. One belligerent
sailor and an equally warlike policeman had
a fierce light with clubs in which the
sailor was badly worsted and several
of the crew of one vessel were dragged
(ff to the station. By this time several
thousand people had congregated In Like
Front Park and made a considerable
demonstration, most of them siding with
the sailors. Toe police captain iv
charge, fearing a riot, sent for 50 more Dim,
and when tney arrived dispersed the
crowd. The police then proceeded with
the work of eviction, and without further
trouble, beyond one or two slight
encounters, finished up the job and cleared
the place where the docks were to be put.
The sailors who have been evicted say their
tights have been invaded and that they pro
pose to take the matter into the courts.

Gains.
GLADSTONE (WIDEST OF THE RESULT.
Stanlcj Defeated by a flow Vote— Prominent Lead

ment by Welsh Electors.
Special to The Morning Call.
London, July s.— The Star says If the
average of yesterday's gains is maintained
it will give the Liberals a majority of 150 in
the next Parliament, while there is a prac
tical certainty the averace will be greater.
The defeat yesteiday of Sir T. Sutherland
(Liberal-Unionist) at Green ck by John
Bruce (Liberal) is a deathblow to the
Unionist cause in Scotland, and indicates
that the number of English Unionists will
be reduced. The Radical triumph at West
bam is a prelude to the rolling up of Lon
don victories for the Radicals. Gladstone
is jubilant over I den's results, espe
cially the return of John Bruce (Liberal) In
Greenock. The returns thus far show the
election of 63 Conservatives, 41 Liberals and
7 Liberal- Unionist*. "7*777.
Gladstone addressed a large and enthusi
astic meeting at Dalkeith to-day. In tho
courfe of his speech he said if Scotland
wanted home rule aha would get it as her
right; but, he added, the Irish quo. ton
leads.
Daniel O'Connell, the son of the great
IrLdi liberator, who is supporting the Right
Hon. James Lowther, Conservative, was
asked why he was not following the foot
steps of his father. He replied that it was
a- an Irish Catholic that he voted for a Con
servative. "I have seen during the past six
years that the country has been wisely gov
erned. Gladstone's home-rule scheme would
be most disastrous to Ireland."
A I'liicUjr Woni-m in Wales.
. Mrs. Cornwallls West, who was ' anvass-
Ing for her hand in Wales to-day, tried
to quell a row among the electors who re
fused to hear her husband speak. She said:
"I am an Irish woman; bit; It was not until
I came to Wales that I lound men eatable
of refusing to hear a woman who was
pleading her cause." She was interrupted
by a storm of yells and lu^es. Pluckily
leaving the platform sue forced her way
through to the platform from which the op
position orator was addressing a crowd, and
tried to argue him into silence. He shook
his fists in her face and repelled her at
tempt. Finally a melee occurred, and Mr-.
West was forced to return to the Unionists'
platform. The meeting broke up in dis
order.

Dublin, July s.— The Irish-American
commission, which arrived a few days ago

ful settlement of the difference between the

CHOLEItA SPREADING.
The Epidemic Ravaging the Russian Prov
inces
St. Pktf.l-Siiui-O, July s.— The cholera is
advancing toward Mm.cow, and it is pri
vately reported has appeared on the other
side of the Volga, in Saratov. The mortal
ity is Increasing at Baku and suburbs.
Only four doctors have volunteered to at
tend patients in the cholera hospitals, but
others have been com i oiled to do so. The
hospitals are totally inadequate to care for
the numbers of sick. Medicines and disin
fectants are only obtainable at exorbitant
prices. The streets are being sprinkled
with petroleum as a disinfectant. Affairs
are badly mismanaged. A cholera hospital
has been located in the most populous dis
trict of the town, Steamers are being with
drawn from the B-i m route on account
of the epidemic. Temporary hospitals are
being erected along the Trans-Caucasian
Railway, between Baku and Tiflls. The
Russian frontier is closed against goods and
passeneers by the way of Ouzamanda, ex
cept after one mouth's quarantine. Twenty
new cases are imported at Saratosk. The
disease Is spreading at Astrakhan. It la
rumored the disease has appeared at Ro
manoff, and there is disquieting news from
Rybinsk.
Pai.is, July s.— Fresh deaths from cholera
have occurred in the suburbs. The bar
racks of the city are reported to he inja
scandalously filthy condition. Dr. Proust,
in a report to the Board of Health on the
cholera in the Caucasus, says the greatest
vigilance will be necessary, if the cholera
spreads to the shores of the Black Sea, as
there is every prospect of the present epi
demic following the course the disease took
in 1831 and 18-.7.
REVOLT IN HUNDURAS.
Insurgents Seize an American Bark and
Capture the Pub Offices.
New Orleans, July s.— Dr. Posey, the
medical oflicer of the Louisiana Board of
Health, stationed at Cciba, Honduras, in a
letter dated June 25, gives additional par
ticulars concerning the revolution, headed
by General Nulla, which broke out at Ciaba,
June 23. He says: In the fight one guard
v. a-, killed and two wounded. The in
surgents took possession of the Custom
house, telegraph otlice, municial offices and
coast defenses, and captured and imprisoned
many of the Government and municipal offi
cii! Is. Some of the officials fled.
On Juue 24 b* 0 insurgents under General
Nulla seized the American- bark Joseph
Uteri aud proceeded with her to Truxillo for
the purpose of capturing tho town and ex
terminating General Munio's forces. Tiie
letter states that at that -time there was
every reason to believe that the revolution
would be a general one. Twenty cases of
guns and 25 cases of cartridges were on
board the bark Joseph Oterl when she was
seized. The bark was later released by the
insurgents, r.nd arrived at the Mississippi
quarantine station this morning. The
owner will institute proceedings for dam
ages. -

BISMAKCIfS- DEFIANCE.
His Party Organ Replies to the Government
Attacks.
B_cnr.iv, July s.— The Hamburger Nach
richten, Bismarck's organ, caused a sensa
tion with an article written in reply, to tho
recent threatening articles of the'Noft-fr
German Gazette. The article says that Bis
marck regnids the comments as ridiculous
and will not ascribe them to a Ministerial
inspiration. The article continues: "When
the Prince, takes his seat in the Reichstag
his criticisms should not be restricted to
the limits already observed; it would be in
teresting in the highest decree if judicial
proceeding* were instituted. Tbat such a
step would be unwelcome to Prince Bis
marck we do not believe. He would hardly,
raise any objection against this dramatic
conclusion to his political career, even if
the consequences were more serious to hint
than are possible according to tho state
law." I

appealed to the Sheriff for protection, and
this afternoon 10 deputies were sent down.
A crowd of 2000 workmen met them at the
station, escorted them to the boat and or
dered them to return to this city. After the
deputies had gone ihe excited men tore down
the Sheriff's proclamation commanding them
to refrain from Interfering with the work
men. The excitement in the town to-night
is intense. To-morrow the men will go into
court and ask that Chairman Frick be re
strained from taking measures tint will
result disastrously to the quiet and peace of
Homestead, taking the ground tint his ac
tion in having the deputies brought in is
menacing. They also sent a telegram to
the Sheriff to-night begging him not to -end
any more deputies, as they are not needed.
Frick has made a counter appeal, calling
upon the Sheriff to protect the property ot
tli«- company.

Washington. July s.— Chairman Culber
son of the House Judiciary Committee has
prepared a report on Dockery's resolution
calling for nu inquiry as to whether, under
the act of January 14. 1875, the Secretary of
the Treasury ha* a right to use the proceeds
of any moneys In the Treasury arising
from the sale of bonds or otherwise
for any other purposes than is men
tioned In the act. The report says that
there has been no necessity to invade the
reserve fund or to deplete it by the redemp
tion of legal-tender notes, as the surplus
revenues of the Treasury have been amply
.sufficient to redeem all notes presented.
The Secretary informs the committee that
there is no reserve fund set aside, either in
cash or on the books of the Treasury, and
the derived from the sale ot bonds for
redemption purposes was merged in the
general cash balance of the Treasury and
that the legal-tender notes presented for
redemption have been redeemed in gold.
Yet in the statement made by the Secretary
all redemptions since 1679. amounting to
£38,195,991, npi ear to have been made from
tiie proceeds of the sale of bonds for re
demption purposes, without regard to sur
plus revenues, thus reducing the proceeds of
the sale of bonds to (53.804,-09.
The report holds that if the gold reserve
of 5100,000,r00 required to be kept in the
treasury -hould bo depleted by the re
demption of legal tenders, the same should
be restored, from current coin receipts
of the Government, and when transferred
to the reserve fund they are uot subject to
use for.any other purpose.
Messrs. Ray, E. B. Taylor. Powers, Brod
erlck anil Buchannn returu a Minority re
port, contending that there is nothing in
the redemption act requiring the Secretary
to set aside a reserve lund for redemption;
that the only fund provided for redemption
Is that arising from the proceeds of bonds
Mild for redemption purposes; that the
power to use any surplus revenue from time
to time In.the tieasury is permissive and
not mandatory, and that the Secretary has
no power to set apart or hold against ap
propriations any p>rt of the surplus rev
enues for the redemption of United States
notes.
Opposition to the Silver Hill.
As far as the action of the H use is con
cerned in putting aside the decision of the
Committee on Rules, the silver bill was in
exactly the same position in the afternoon
as it was this morning. It is in the power
of the friends of lhe measure at any time —
when a quorum is present— to defeat
Tracey's motion to refer it to the Committee
on Banking and Currency and move its
reference to the Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measure*, It was said, aft -r
adjournment to-day, that the tuht over tbe
reference will not be renewed to-morrow,
and the enemies of the measure will allow
It to be referred as its friends desire, with
out further obstruction. It is now admitted
by the anti-silver men that the bill must
ultimately go to the Coinage Committee, and
it is purposed to make a strong fight there.

pressing it as the sentiment of the meeting

Help came and the snake was filled. .'.The
moment this was done the guinea dropped
dead. It certainly was not struck by the

KID OF A FOURTH OF MY SPREE.
Barney Irwin Got Drank to Celebrate the Nation's
-fatal Day, and Was Earned to Death
in Ili*. Dtvtl ing.
-.pedal to The Morning Cam.
Stockton, 7 July s.— Barney Lavin. an
old painter. 76 years of age, was burned to
death this morning in his dwelling in this
city, where he lived for years with his aged
wife. -Lavin had been addicted to drinking
for many years, and on the Fourth of July
he was unusually full, so that he laid down
in his yard to sleep off the stupor. At
about 9 o'clock his wife got him into the
house. Once there, he became noisy and
abusive and his wife called In a neighbor to
quiet him. Lavin was calmed down and
the wife went to bed, leaving him walking
around the house. At half-past 1 o'clock
this morning she was awakened by smoko
entering her room, and, running out, she
saw that the house was on fire. She
found her husband lying on the bed in his
room and succeeded in dragging him nearly
to the door and then, believing that
he would get out, she ran back
to her room to save her valu
ables. The old lady got out safely,
but, when she reachead the yard her hus
band was nowhere to be seen, and no one
in the crowd that had gathered noticed him
coming away from the burning dwelling.
A neighbor told the chief of tho Fire De
partment that he had heard groans in the
old man's bedroom during the fire, but the
body could not be seen on looking in at the
window. Then the water was turned on
that part of the house, and after the fire
had been extinguished Barney's remains
were found curled up on the floor of the
bedroom, the features being unrecognizable i
ami one baud being burned off.
What was left of the body was taken in
charge of by the Coroner.
it is supposed that the man set the house
on fire accidentally while smoking his pipe
and falling asleep was overpowered by the
smoke before awakening, and never re
gained consciousness, even wheu his .wife
was trying to drag him our.

NO HOPE OF PEACE.
Sacramento Is Still Stirred Up Over the High
binder War.
Sacramento, July s.— There is no hope
of peace in the ranks of the fighting Chi
nese factions. The Bang X ng Toug gang,
who are Intrenched In an M-street wash
house, declare that they, are living in dread
of the Chee Kong Tong. They expected an
attack yesterday and saw three fighting
heathen lingering about the place during
the day. To prevent an attack without
warning the Bang Kong Tong employed
Harry Ketchum to guard the premises.
Ketchum has been on watch with a shotgun
for two days.
Chief Lodgers, in view of recent develop
ments, Is getting to believe that there is
little or no choice between the rival socie
ties. It has been supposed that the Bang
Kong Tong included about all the highbind
ers In town, while the Chee Kong Tong
embraced the merchants and other Mon
golians of means. If such be the fact the
merchants seem to be traveling in bad com
pany.
One of the Bang Kong Tong said, to-day
that the enemies of his organization had a
deep laid scheme on foot to destroy the
society. The principal witness against the
murderer of Lee Gong Is his widow Ah
Wall. Although she is swearing stoutly in
favor of the Chee Kong Tong it is now
claimed that the latter propose to murder
her and put the blame on the Bang Kong
Tong in the hope that popular indignation
may be so aroused that not a member ot the
organization would be permitted to live in
town. So far Ah Wah bas shown herself
to be, unlike most Chinese, possessed of the
ordinary human emotions, and her grief
over Lee Gong's sudden taking off is fairly
pitiful. Her demeanor has excited great
sympathy for her and her murder at this
time would recoil upon her slavers, and they
know it. -ff -:f.i-f-- f 'f
Ah Tie. the forger, who has been stand
ing in with the Chee Kung Tong has gone
over to the opposition, but they are afraid
of him and refuse to let him into their
secrets. 7>7
WHO WAS HE?
An Unknown Man Killed in a Tunnel Near
Veil, jd Junction.
Martinez, July .".—On Monday morning
tiie Martinez local train coming eastward
ran over and killed a man in tunnel 1, near
Vallejo Junction. Tho man was apparently
making ills way toward Oakland, and failed
to notice the approach o! the train. Coro
ner Curry was notified and made an inspec
tion of the body, without finding anything
about the man that would reveal his name
or business. The t deceased was a man
apparently 95 years old. He had red hair
and blue eyes, a slight mustache of light
reddish hue and straggling chin whiskers
of the same color. Four of the upper teeth
are filled with gold. He was dressed in
black pants, striped with blue, black sack
coat and vest and black derby hat. He had
on his person a pair of gold sleeve buttons,
marked with a horseshoe and whip. There
was a pocket looking-glass in his pocket and
a small penknife and two sonsrbooks. In
one of the songbooks wa ..found a business
card of John 1). Johnson & Co., 810 Sixth
street, San Francisco. The dead man did
not appear to b.> an outdoor laborer, as his
hands were white and delicate king.
Parties who saw him this side of Vallejo
Junction shortly before he was killed say
that he was, to all appearances, perfectly
sober. An Inquest will be held to-morrow
afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the remain* held
as long as possible, in hopes of identification.

A Serious Charge Against the Firemen of San
Jose.
San Jose. July 5.— This evening Mayor
Schilling, at a brief session of the council,
ordered the Fire and Water Committee to
inquire into the causes of Saturday night's
fire, and also into the conduct of the Fire
Department during the conflagration, as it
seems that a rumor had reached his ears that
the firemen were incapacitated on account
of too frequent Indulgences in liquor.
The question of the inability of the de- ;
partment to cope with the fire on account of
insufficient appliances was also made the
subject of investigation. The town is
crowded with insurance men, who are here
to adjust the losses by the fire. They will
finish their work by Friday. Some of them
estimate the total loss at from S--0,000 to
8300,000. although the majority scarcely put
it so high as that. __W§__\

armed. It is the intention of the mob to
take him alive. if possible, and then to tor
ture him to death, either by tearing him
limb from limb or burning him at the stake,
after pouring oil over him.
Wilson escaped from Sheriff Kelly on
Saturday night in Yamhill County, on the
west side of the Willamette River, ani It
was thought ho would attempt to reach the
mountains; but instead of that, if this in
formation is correct, ho staited immediately
for his brother's place at Milwaukee, near
the scene of the crime.
At la.m. six Deputy Sheriffs left here
for Milwaukee to endeavor to get Wilson
into the clutches of the law, if th it Is possi
ble. There is no telegraph ofilce at the
town, and nothing of a definite character
can be learned. It is certain trrnt If he is
located he cannot escape, as the country is
thickly settled and every avenue of escape
will bo strictly guarded until daylight,
when the crowd-expects to closo In on him.
FEARS OF A LYNCHING. "
The Colored Men in Jacksonville Preparing
to Protect a Prisoner.
Jacksonville. Fla., July s.— Nearly 700
negroes are under arms to-night and are
deploying in squads in the vicinity of the
Duval County Jail. They claim that the
whites Intend to lynch a negro named Ben
Heed, who was arrested for the murder of
F. Burrows. The whites say they have no
idea of lynching. There is much excitement,
however, and the negroes persist In keeping
up the patrol. By. order of Governor Flem
ing two companies of State troops were or
dered out to-night with full equipment and
a Gatling gun. The troops encamped In
front of the jail. At a late hour to-night
the negroes were still walking about iv
small squads, ana It is thought there will be
no trouble. •
Two Men Lynched.
Yicksburo, Miss., July 6.— At about I
o'clock this (Wednesday) morning a mob
proceeded to the jail in this city, took out
Smith Tooley and John L. Adam 9, colored,
and hanged them. Before stringing them
up the men were taken to the courtroom
where they were given a brief examination,
but it proved fruitless, and the mob soon
tired of it. They were charged with the
murder and robbery of Bens »n Blake, a
merchant of Redwood. The Warren Lignt
Artillery Company declined an Invitation
from the officers of the law to d-fend the
jail and the crowd met no resistance.
Fell Ir.ti the L.ka.
Celina, Ohio, July s.— At Bluff ton yes
terday Mrs. Jessie Carret made a baloon
ascension and attempted to descend with a
parachute from a great altitude. The para
chute failed to properly expand until near
the ground, and Mrs. Carret descended with
frightful rapidity into the lake and was
drowned. ■*.>--.-", f- f~f-f
Fatal Boiler Explosion.

of a thrashing-engine exploded to-day, kill

An Electric Fountain.
An electric fountain Is to be built at a
cost of 52.00 in the city of Lynn, Mass., the
money being provided for in the will of a
late resident of that place. The plan pro
vides for a fountain with a convex mirror
basin 25 feet in diameter. The water will
spray from a two-inch pipe, and descending
will fall through iridescent rays produced
by prisms surrounding a 400 candle-power
electric arc light. Rusticity in the general
effect is aimed at, and the water will flow
into a central reservoir over rocks and
grass. It will be the only fountain similarly
constructed in the world, f-fffff] --
